How does MS, who has also sexual harassment and gender discrimination problems not unlike Activision, run a tighter ship?
Why would you trust them to change and not Activision? Kotick said he'd quit if things didn't get fixed and he hasn't quit.
If you trust these companies, they've successfully marketed to you.

Microsoft also has sexual harassment and discrimination issues while being a serial anti-competition offender across the globe.

By who? Microsoft has faced repeated anti-competitive practices across the globe and just "found" sexual harassment and discrimination issues within their own company.
You really think they're better?

More consolidation in markets is always bad for consumers.
This is a company who has been sued across the globe for decades for anti-competitive practices.

And usually consumers aren't negatively impacted... At first. But then 5 years later it gets worse and politicians act surprised. Probably because they love those lobbyist visits.

So, you pointed out that MS has more money and resources to put policies in place to avoid discrimination and they haven't. Doesn't seem like a tight ship.
Frat boy culture is trash, but we don't need a monopolistic company consolidating the gaming industry even more when we could just, I dunno, demand legal consequences for Activision? Wouldn't that make the most sense?
Seeing MS as the savior is completely misguided.
